KVM does not handle the reserved bits of x86 page tables correctly:
In PAE, bits 5:8 are reserved in the PDPTE.
In IA-32e, bit 8 is not reserved.

Bit 7 is not reserved either, for the PDPTE (its PageSize bit).

In long mode (IA-32e), bit 7 is definitely reserved.

There is a separate reserved mask for PS=1, nevermind.

It's always reserved for PML4E (rsvd_bits_mask[x][3]), while for PDPTEs
it is not reserved if you have 1GB pages.

Yeah, but the situation for IA32e rsvd_bits_mask[0][2] is exactly the
same as for PAE rsvd_bits_mask[0][1], and we're not marking the bit as
reserved there.
The right thing to do is to add rsvd_bits(7, 7) to both
rsvd_bits_mask[0][2] and rsvd_bits_mask[1][2], if 1GB pages are not
supported.
As written, the patch has no effect on PDPTEs because
rsvd_bits_mask[0][2] is only accessed if bit 7 is zero.
Nadav, would you mind preparing a follow-up? Also, how did you find
these issues and test the fixes?

I will create a follow-up as soon as possible. We encountered the issues in a custom testing environment.
The fixes were validated using the failing tests, but they cover additional cases which might not have been tested.
